Texas Public Policy Foundation

Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming SULPHUR SPRINGS ISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 7)

Proposed Tax Rate Lacks Key Context

📅 Scheduled Action

The district is proposing to adopt a new property tax rate of $0.9258 per $100 valuation under Item 5.B. While the provided ‘Taxpayer Impact Statement’ shows a lower rate than last year, it critically omits the state-calculated ‘no-new-revenue rate,’ which is the only honest benchmark for determining if the district is increasing the overall tax burden on existing property.

Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: The hearing on the tax rate is during Item 2.B. Contact the Board (see district website for emails) and ask: ‘Before voting on Item 5.B, please state the no-new-revenue rate and the voter-approval rate from the dais. I urge you to adopt the no-new-revenue rate to prevent a tax increase.’
